About the Show

The search is on for the next MasterChef champion in the return of the hugely successful cooking contest that has launched successful culinary careers and inspired home cooks everywhere. As the latest batch of passionate amateur cooks tie on the famous aprons and get to work in the MasterChef kitchen, who will impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace and make it though the heats to get a place in the final?

The contestants are put through their paces with invention tests, intense culinary challenges – including being thrown in at the deep end in high-pressure professional kitchens – and also get the chance to create their own brilliant dishes. Can they conquer their nerves and demonstrate their talent, as they try to avoid elimination and get ever closer to carrying off the coveted MasterChef trophy?

I have always been a fan of British Master chef because the contestants were competing against their skills. Tonight I was aghast at teams and cook-offs etc. This is the stuff that happens on the Aussie version and is such trash. If it continues then I will not be watching.

Fantastic. It's back. Love, Love this show - can't stand the Aussie version (and I'm an Aussie) which is all hype and look at me personalities and that's just the judges. Have already picked my favourites and will watch to hopefully see if one of them wins. Picked the last 2 winners.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE - just watched the first elimination for MasterchefUSA- the man who had the original concept must be turning in his grave. Dislike the 3 judges- supposedly no one was to be belittled on the show, these judges do very little else. what a shame, I can'twatch it - Ramsey doesn't fit in

Yeah, I wondered the same thing.Do they just get an empty trophy to take home or is it filled with cash?...or truffles maybe...
Got addicted to this show during the Easter marathon.... Thought Andy would win but was really glad Matt did.
